Kings Highway To Be Closed
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
WINONA LAKE - The western end of Kings Highway will be closed when the final layer of paving is applied Thursday or Monday, Winona Lake Town Council announced Tuesday.
Paving will be determined in part by weather conditions and will be the final phase in a lengthy road project that included infrastructure work underneath the road.
Officials chose to close the road entirely during the project so that vehicles don't drive over new pavement before it's ready.
In a related matter, the town will seek some financial support from the county to pay for an upgrade along Pierceton Road. Plans for paving will likely be decided in two weeks.
Town council was informed that more progress was made in Merrywood Mobile Home Park's repair of sewer lines plagued by infiltration.
Board president Brent Wilcoxson said the town has already noticed less infiltration and there there is more standing water in the park after heavy rains.
Eleven more areas for repair have been identified, he said. [[In-content Ad]]
